Local Service Opportunities
DPE is partnered with a variety of local nonprofits and organizations. We aim for our members to demonstrate a serving learning perspective when engaging in philanthropy as we work on expanding our impact on Los Angeles communities.
Below are past events we have hosted!
DPE x Starts With One Today: Food and clothing handout for unhoused individuals on Skid Row.
DPE x Garden School Foundation: Supported the upkeep of 24th Street School’s community garden. This garden plays an essential role in their community as it gives many local children access to green areas and fresh produce.
